Haynes still not getting picked?

 

[Red]

Just went off the top of my head tbh. Didn't think of him.

Could replace either opener and I'd be happy.

Did Martyn not make it? FFS, Harvey made it and Martyn didn't.

 

[mr_mister]

Hansie should have made it

Here's the figures posted (ranking, previous ranking, player, score, highest individual ranking)


1 (1) Viv Richards 666 (1st)
3 (2) Sachin Tendulkar 525 (1st)
8 (6) Michael Bevan 419 (1st)
9 (8) Muttiah Muralitharan 398 (1st)
18 (12) Brian Lara 159 (1st)
35 (39) Nathan Bracken 56 (1st)

Those are the only ones who got at least one vote at #1 rank. Fewer than I would have thought. Because Brandman did not play ODI cricket, there several players who have a claim to be considered the greatest ODI player ever. Interesting that Wasim Akram ranked #2 overall has not been ranked at #1 by anyone!!

Is that what you call Sachin coz of his multiple endorsement deals?

You can be sure there was a lot of voters who jigged this voting. There was tactical omission of Sachin involved in one or two top 25s I am sure, same with Murali. That allows Wasim to get in, I feel as he might have been on everyone's list.
